What investors actually ask

Do I have to fly to Dubai to invest?

No. A Power of Attorney issued through the UAE consulate in your country, e-signed contracts and remote DLD transfers let us complete the entire acquisition without you leaving home. Most clients never board a plane.

What happens if the Dubai market corrects?

Every underwriting model assumes a 20% price drop and a 6-month vacancy stress test. We only recommend assets that stay cash-flow positive under that stress — so a correction hurts paper value, not your monthly income.

How does AGRABAH make money? Where's the conflict of interest?

Three streams: a fixed acquisition advisory fee, a transparent management fee on collected rent, and a performance fee only above an 8% hurdle. We earn more only when you do — never on the transaction alone.

Can I get a UAE residency through this?

Yes. Property above AED 750K qualifies for a 2-year residency; above AED 2M, the 10-year Golden Visa. Legal costs run roughly AED 12–18K per applicant, which we coordinate end to end.

Why not just buy directly through a developer?

You can. In 2025 we rejected 73% of the pre-launches we reviewed on post-handover unit economics. The filter — not the access — is what protects your yield.

What's the minimum to work with AGRABAH?

$500,000 deployed, as a single asset or a pool position. Below that, active management can't be run economically without diluting your return.
